Thanks very much!
I spent several hours trying to solve this problem until I got here.
sudo apt-get install libxcb-xinerama0
Thanks!

Hey guys,

I'm getting the same error but not able to find any reason.
I'm building this project, https://github.com/BelledonneCommunications/linphone-desktop

Hey @SGaist , Can you please suggest anything for this?

SGaist

@singhravi run ldd on the plugin itself.

singhravi

@SGaist Thanks a lot for the reply!
Do you mean this? ldd ~/Qt/5.12.9/gcc_64/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so
If yes, then I've included its output in the original comment.
Please let me know if this is not what you mean.

SGaist

I missed that line.

I see that you have that issue with an AppImage, does it also happen with just your binary ?

singhravi

@SGaist Nope. The created binary works fine.
Only the packaged Appimage gives this issue.
PS, sorry for the delay in comments as its blocking me for 600 seconds after a comment. SMH

SGaist

What are you using to create that AppImage ?

singhravi

@SGaist
I'm building this project from github, https://github.com/BelledonneCommunications/linphone-desktop.
It has the everything included in its cmakelists.txt and I just need to add -DENABLE_APP_PACKAGING=YES to create the package.
It uses linuxdeploy and linuxdeploy-plugin-qt for packaging.
This is the script for packaging, https://github.com/BelledonneCommunications/linphone-desktop/blob/master/linphone-app/tools/create_appimage.sh

One thing I noted while running the Appimage with QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 was that it was trying to load plugins from a directory in tmp directory which does not exists. I don't know if this is the correct behaviour.
Following the log when i run the Appimage,

Hi, AppImage extracts all the files into the /tmp directory, so it's expected that the files exist there (as long as the app runs).
But it seems all Qt files are not from version Qt 5.12.9, the error is that libQt5XcbQpa.so.5 is looking for the function QFontEngine::bitmapForGlyph() in libQt5Gui.so.5 but it's not there. I think that function is maybe 6 years old, perhaps you any other (older) Qt version installed than 5.12.9?

Edit: I greped the sources, the function signature was changed between 5.12.4 and 5.12.5:
in Qt 5.12.4: QImage QFontEngine::bitmapForGlyph(glyph_t, QFixed subPixelPosition, const QTransform&);

in Qt 5.12.5: QImage QFontEngine::bitmapForGlyph(glyph_t, QFixed subPixelPosition, const QTransform&, const QColor &);

since libQt5XcbQpa.so.5 asks for the old one, most likely it's the other way around, i.e. libQt5XcbQpa.so.5 is from 5.12.4 (or older Qt version) and libQt5Gui.so.5 is from 5.12.9.

singhravi

@hskoglund Thanks a lot for the explanation! This is great.
Actually i've installed Qt 5.12.9 with the installer and all the other dependencies were installed using apt which i think must be causing the mismatch in compatible versions as 18.04 ubuntu could have old packages in its repo.
So what do you suggest? should i down grade qt version or should i install newer dependency libraries by using some custom apt sources?

hskoglund

In the long run the best is to do an apt remove for the apt installed Qt and just stick with Qt’s online installer (because it gives you fresher versiobns).

But you can also try to harmonize them, open a Terminal and type qtdiag (it should pick up the apt installed Qt)
Ser what version is says, then use the MaintenanceTool to downgrade to that version.

singhravi

@hskoglund Thanks for the suggestion!
Actually I did not installed the Qt using apt but all the other dependecies such as qtchooser, etc.
Maybe that is why when i ran qtdiag, it gave the following output, qtdiag: could not find a Qt installation of ''?
Please suggest.

hskoglund

Hmm, so apt gave you a piecemeal version of Qt, however enough stuff to error out AppImage.

That older/faulty libQt5XcbQpa.so.5 should be in your /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu anyways, try this in Terminal:

strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5XcbQpa.so.5 | grep Qt | more

In that list should be some version markers, like Qt_5_PRIVATE_API, Qt_5 and Qt_5.9 or something similar...

Edit: just realized, there's an easier way to establish the version of that apt-flavored partial Qt installation: just list libQt5XcbQpa in Terminal, like this:

ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Xcb*

this should show what version apt gave you...

singhravi

@hskoglund
Yes, libQt5XcbQpa.so.5 has Qt_5_PRIVATE_API, Qt_5 and Qt_5.9 in it. Please find the whole output below.

Does that mean that this library is for Qt 5.9? And is not compatible with Qt 5.12.9 that we have installed with Qt installer?

We're getting the similar results for the ls command,

Indeed, the apt version of Qt you've got is 5.9.5. which does not play well with 5.12.9 :-(

Easiest short-term solution to get AppImage working is to try downgrade your 5.12.9 to 5.9.5 (with a bit of luck any 5.9.x version will do, but see if you can find 5.9.5 first).

(Long-term: try purging all apt-flavored Qt stuff from your Ubuntu system and rely solely on Qt's online installer.)
